Beginners Guide to Hand Lettering! And a FREEBIE!

About a year ago, I created a Beginner's Guide to Hand Lettering after having tons of questions on how I "got so good" at lettering, what my favorite supplies are, how I incorporate bible journaling, etc.

So, to answer those questions plus some, I created this guide!
It's a 50+ page guide that includes:

This guide focuses on faux calligraphy hand lettering, not brush lettering (which I may cover sometime in the future) because I feel like it's an easier place to start and the basics of hand lettering help you better understand how to control your brush pens if you try to do brush lettering in the future.

I wanted to offer a couple of practice pages for you that are a part of the hand lettering guide so you can get an idea of what's inside.

Here is a PDF that includes practice sheets of the script, serif and sans serif letters. I recommend printing these out and then using tracing paper to trace them with so your hand can get use to the way it feels to make the shapes of the letters.

There's actually one more practice sheet than in the picture below and I also included a coloring page that can be found in my coloring book!
